the competition to get into the tax package is fierce. We are not the only
group that realizes what a great opportunity this is. One of the primary ways
that bills will be evaluated for inclusion in the tax package is cosponsor
support. That is where all of us come into play. If your Representative has not
already cosponsored the Access Technology Affordability Act, H.R. 1529, (list
of cosponsors is included below) then I urge you to email or call your
Representative and urge them to cosponsor the bill. If you have already done
this, but they have not yet cosponsored, then I urge you to contact them again.
We need all hands on deck for this effort, so even if you\u2019ve never called your
member of Congress before, this is the perfect time to make your first call or
send your first email. Remember, the best advocacy is polite, persuasive, and
persistent.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>

name is (your name) and I am a constituent of Representative (Representative\u2019s

bill would help put more access technology in the hands of blind Americans. It
does this by creating a $2,000 refundable tax credit for blind people for the
purchase of specialized access technology. As a blind person myself, I know how
important access technology is. As just one example, it could enable a blind
person to search for a job, apply for a job, and then keep that job. In fact,
Mathematica, a well-respected economic firm, has estimated that the bill will
help more blind Americans work thereby saving the federal government $315
million over a five-year period. This bill will help your constituents, help
the federal government save money, and help the American economy. I would be
extremely appreciative if you would consider cosponsoring this bill.\u201d</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>
